Opal Annette Smith, 81, of Lafayette, passed away quietly in her home at 5:15 AM on Monday, August 31, 2020, surrounded by her family. She was born on December 31, 1938 in London, KY to John and Alice (Williams) Boggs. Her marriage was to Thurston T. Smith in 1958 and he survives. Their marriage was one of the greatest love stories of all time. Their marriage was the goal that everyone wishes to achieve. They lived through the thick and thin, good times and bad. They were each other's person. They loved their road trips to Kentucky and Florida every year. When that couldn't happen anymore, a ride in the country or out by the river sufficed and they looked forward to Dog n Suds opening every year.
Opal loved her family more than anything. Her sons and grandkids were her pride and joy. She loved to watch anything with Angela Lansbury and crime shows. Cooking was her thing and it was always a one of a kind dish that only she could make. She will be greatly missed by all, and especially by her husband. She was a supervisor at Central Lab Electronics until her retirement. She worked part time at Roselyn Bakery after her retirement for a few short years.
Surviving with her husband are a son; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; one sister; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by two sons, Jeffrey Thurston Smith and Stephen E. Smith; three sisters- Aliene Viars, Sue Miniard and Lorene Lewis; and one brother, Stanley Boggs.
Friends may call from 10 AM to noon on Friday, September 4, 2020. Funeral services will be held immediately at noon in the Chapel of Faith at Tippecanoe Memory Gardens with Pastor Kevin Bowers officiating.
